I'm a very casual fighting game player so this for me is great fun. Not too difficult to pull some decent combos and, at a low level of play, the character variety is great. Carried me through many a slow working day thinking of good team combinations, and some of the tactics/teams at a competitive level so far have been interesting. The fact its quite simple means its probably a bit cheap at a higher level but seeing as that will never be me, I'm loving it. Also, so far I have only been playing single matches or in 2 person private lobbies online, so haven't had too many issues yet. Looking forward to seeing what new DLC characters there will be because the roster could stand to be a shade bigger.

Finally coming round to play Portal next so expecting that to blow my mind...

GRID - 8/10 - Really enjoyed it though it has some flaws. In particular braking seems way off on the fasters cars and the AI has a habit of slaming you off the track. When it works though its fantastic fun. The TVR races, the saloon car racing and the muscle car racing are the best bits as the braking just seems to work OK on those. In general though the faster the car class the more off the braking becomes.

I would love to see them do another one of these with a bit more concentration on the handling model. I thought in particular DIRT2 really got the braking levels correct and if they could do another GRID with the same level of braking reaslism it would be brilliant.

I must say the game engine is superb in this. It seems really smooth and has great detail level, physics and crash effects.

Haven't finished any of these, but that won't stop me from rating them.

Far Cry 3 - 7/10

It's fun but there are some design issues which interfere with the free-form/open-world gameplay. (Most jarring of which is the out-of-place Game Over, Mission Restart? mechanic) Also the story/characters are wank.
The stealth is nice and the hunting/gliding/exploration are fun.

Hitman Absolution - 6/10

I liked Blood Money. This is a definite step down.

Chivalry Medieval Warfare - 8/10

Wacky, gory fun. Surprisingly simple mechanics belie a certain elegance that reminds me of Bushido Blade. There is no extraneous crap. Just war cries and chopped limbs.
